1t will be remembered that Frank Chase of
Clinton, who fatally shot his brother Walter
the both of last April, was, by order of Judge
Whitehouse. sent to the Insane Hospital for
observation as to his sanity. During his stay
there his mental condition has not changed,
and he continues in a surly imbecle-like
state. 1t is believed his mind has been shat
tered from infancy. His trial is assigned for
the next term of the Superior Court, but it is
not probable that he will be convicted of any
crime owing to his weakness of mind.

Labor Commissioner Matthews became
quite popular among the strikers during the
recent labor difficulty in this city. He
mingled with them frequently in an endeavor
to learn the cause of the trouble and settle
it amicably if possible. On Wednesday Mr..
Matthews, who is a very pleasant and winning
speaker, addressed the weavers in their hall
for upwards of half an hour, advising them
to return to their looms and to close up
Wednesday night, as they did. with dance
and grand good time. He was frequently
cheered and when he ceased speaking there
was prolonged applause.

shrewdly, Clark and Morgan were the bat
terry for the Cushnocs. In the last two in

two of the commissioners of Cascade eoun-

days making arrangements to get the new
county started off in good shape. Of
course they can not as yet act officially
and they are only attending to certain
necessary preliminary matters, such as
providing quarters for the officers, secnr-
ing records, etc. While the contract is
not yet closed they have practically leased
the second story of the Minot building for
offices and have also arranged TO have the
same properly furnished. The location is
an excellent one and every convenience
(including splendid Vaults for the several
officers are thus provided. This selection
will give general satisfaction. Our com
missioners are exercising good judgment
in looking after the affairs of the new
county and are determined that, SO far as
they are concerned, the administration
will be a careful and economical one.

Points for

The following is extracted from CORE
spondence Of the Farm journal: One
acre of turnips will equal ten of grass for
sheep. Hurdle, or pull as wanted. -Four
bushels chopped TO one hundred sheep is
proper feed. If lambs are kept, wean at
four months and put dams on short dry
feed a few days to stop milk. Turn the
lambs into second growth clover and give
bran every morning. Grain the sheep
lightly on pasture as soon as the milk is
dry. Grain pays better then until winter
than any other time. 1t is an essential.
Glover pasture is best for sheep. To en-
rich pastures as you feed, give oil cake,
peas, beans Or bran. Three weeks before
putting to the buck increase artificial food.
Oats, oilcake or cracked corn at the rate
half a pound per ewe given at night will
increase fecandity and produce better
lambs. Yarding the sheep at night will
also hasten this work. After taking the
buck the feed should be such only as to
keep it in good condition. The ram should
be fed n pint of corn daily, during Pc
Rod of action. TO get healthy lambs. The
change to winter feed and to grain should
be gradual. Allow them to run if pasture
permits until snow n Feed hay in
in the rack in the fall. After heavy frosts
the pasture loses much nutriment and
should be filled out by artificial food.
Crushed corn. oats, beans or roots in
small quantity make UP the loss and pre-
pare for winter treatment.

Honor the Brave.

One of the p~leasantest features Of
the ST. Louis meeting was the honor
everywhere extended to General
Tecumseh Sherman. st. Louis was
his home for two or three of the last
years he was general of the army,
and the people there are very fond of
him. That the army is fond of him
goes without saying. He was a very
splendid soldier, and as such, while
drawing the hearts Of those near him
close, he made a name for himself
which will last SO long as history
does, and under the attrition Of the
ages growing brighter and brighter.
